    “My wife and I were very disappointed with our stay at your cottage in Aldeburgh.”

    We only stayed 2 out of 4 nights because out of all honesty the accomodation was totally inappropriate for us, both in our 80s. The steep staircase had no hand rail and was lethal especially coming downstairs. The bathroom door opened outwards onto a small landing at the top of the stairs and there was a huge risk of falling back down them - there should have been a safety gate. Surely when you are advertising you should make mention whether it is suitable for elderly people. Additionally, the ...

    We only stayed 2 out of 4 nights because out of all honesty the accomodation was totally inappropriate for us, both in our 80s. The steep staircase had no hand rail and was lethal especially coming downstairs. The bathroom door opened outwards onto a small landing at the top of the stairs and there was a huge risk of falling back down them - there should have been a safety gate. Surely when you are advertising you should make mention whether it is suitable for elderly people. Additionally, the television was intermittent, dangerous bunk beds sticking out and we both hit our heads severely. The courtyard is dreary and unwelcoming to sit in and the front garden in much need of attention. We are not whingers, but we are very, very disappointed by the lack of space and the dangerous facilities which meant our holiday was cut short.

About the location

ALDEBURGH

Thorpeness 2.1 miles; Saxmundham 7.2 miles.

The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home. For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!
